Cartier founded their first London store in 1902 in 4 New Burlington Street. Only three years later they moved to where the store remains today at 175-177 New Bond Street.

Lot 60
A 17th century silver hawking vervel, the ring (Lewis & Richardson type B) vervel inscribed to the exterior ‘* Earle of Pembroke’, in italic script, diameter 10.3mm. £600-£800 --- Provenance: This vervel was found by a metal detectorist at Ramsbury, Wiltshire in 2023. It has been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database ref: HAMP-EE0140. The most likely candidate as owner of this vervel was the 4th Earl of Pembroke and Earl of Montgomery, Philip Herbert (1584–1650). Philip is said to have entered court at the age of 16 as a handsome young man, with great prowess in hunting and hawking. He was acknowledged as a favourite of King James I, who made him a Knight of the Garter, created him Earl of Montgomery, Keeper of the Palace of Westminster and St. James's Park, Lord Lieutenant of Kent and a member of the Privy Council. This affection remained in spite of Philip’s reputed foul mouth and quick temper. Philip became 4th Earl of Pembroke in 1630 when he inherited the title and Wilton House near Salisbury from his brother William, 3rd Earl of Pembroke. Philip’s first wife was Lady Susan de Vere, with whom he had seven sons and three daughters, he subsequently married Lady Anne Clifford. He was an active patron of the arts - including the artist Anthony van Dyck - and of literature - Shakespeare dedicated his First Folio to Philip and his brother William. As his death approached, James I recommended Philip to the favourable notice of his successor Charles. Philip accompanied Charles to Oxford in 1636, and until the Civil War entertained the King every summer at Wilton. At the King’s suggestion Philip had the front facade of the house rebuilt by Inigo Jones and his assistant Solomon de Caus. The DNB notes that the house contained stables ‘of Roman architecture, with a court and fountain…adorned with Caesars’ heads, and there were kept racehorses (some from Morocco) and carriage horses for six coaches, besides all manner of dogs and hawks.’ Philip came into conflict with Charles’s queen Henrietta Maria over differing religious inclinations, and he subsequently broke with Charles. Through the first English Civil War, Pembroke sided with the parliamentarians, although he was always one of the most moderate of them, and he maintained some loyalty to the King, trying to encourage him to accept a deal with parliament. In January 1649, Pembroke declined a role on the High Court of Justice established by the Rump Parliament to try Charles I on charges of high treason, although he agreed not to speak out against executing the King. Two other 17th century hawking vervels associated with the Earl(s) of Pembroke have been found in the environs of Wilton House (see PAS records WILT-E0B23A and WILT-B08B32). This vervel was found in Ramsbury, approximately 35 miles further north, near the town of Marlborough, Wiltshire. Condition Report There is evidence of an old repair to the band. The inscription is clear and legible although the vervel shows general wear and scuffing. Band width 3.1mm. Weight 0.79gm.
Lot 80
A MARBLE HEAD OF A ROMAN LADY IN THE LATE 1ST CENTURY A.D MANNER With dressed and coiled hairstyle in the Flavian (later 1st Century A.D.) or Antonine (1st-2nd Century A.D.) fashion, simulated porphyry wooden socle base, old printed verse by Morris Bishop to underside "Museum Thoughts"- and inscribed in ink indistinctly "New Year (?) */1/53 Giulia daughter of Emperor Titus C *****" head 33.5cm high, approximately 51cm high overall Provenance: Property of a Lady of Title. Inherited from her mother in 2003 who, in turn, is believed to have inherited them from her parents in the mid 20th century. A comparison has been drawn with the marble portrait bust said to be Vibia Sabina, the wife of Hadrian, dating from the first half of the 2nd century A.D. and held in the Municipal Archaeological Museum in Fiesole. "Rome is gone and all her pride, Still the dainty curls abide; Venus, Mars, and Jove are dead, Still remains the lovely head. Let a thousand years go by, Let our gods and empires die, Time will never set a term To the life of Julia's perm. Mundo semper erit gratus Iste capitis ornatus." Condition Report: Property of a Lady of Title. Inherited from her mother in 2003 who, in turn, inherited it from her parents in the mid 20th century. The bust was rediscovered in 2003 (together with the horse lot 79) when probate was carried out on her mother's estate and the two pieces were found in a box in the attic. There is, unfortunately, no paperwork to accompany this lot. With wear, marks, knocks and scratches as per age, handling, use. Some restorations visible to nose, lips and her right ear. Left ear with losses and with other surface wear and small chips (some more recent with whiter underlying structure visible), losses and worn areas such as back of hair. The whole quite brown in colour from engrained dirt. Natural flaws to stone throughout and sections missing around neck. Surface skin loss in parts notably to her left cheek- just below a blob of wax. Metal column insert has a brass gimbal ring which has slipped from its true moorings. The metal has ground against underside of marble and the piece does not sit completely safely upright and will require attention before safe domestic display. Base with numerous losses.

A PAIR OF ENGLISH DELFT POLYCHROME COMMEMORATIVE PORTRAIT PLATES LATE 17TH OR EARLY 18TH CENTURY Each painted with a portrait bust of the Duke of Ormonde 22cm diameter Provenance: By family descent to a private Wiltshire collectorJames Butler 2nd Duke of Ormonde (1665-1745), Irish peer, statesman and soldier, raised a protestant like the 1st Duke. He pursued a military career and first rose to prominence in the Monmouth Rebellion. Despite opposition to offering the throne to William of Orange and Mary Stuart he did eventually join their forces. He rose steadily through the reign of Queen Anne, becoming Captain-General of Land Forces upon the Duke of Marlborough's dismissal in 1712. However, his undoubted Jacobite leanings meant he had to flee to France in 1715, having fallen foul of the new administration and his opposition to the enthronement of George I.

Thomas Cooper Moore (1827-1901) - Nottingham Goose Fair, October 1870, signed and dated (T C MOORE 1870), oil on canvas, 51.5 x 75.5cm A comparable picture by the artist ofNottingham Goose Fair 1876 (51 x 61cm) was sold by the Estate of Sir John and Lady Smith, Sotheby's, 9 July 2019, lot 49. Moore's sketch of Nottingham Goose Fair, Beastmarket Hill 1867 is in the collection of Nottingham Castle Museum & Art Gallery and is illustrated Iliffe (R) and R Baguley, Victorian Nottingham, vol 4, 1971, p12 This tour de force of mid Victorian folk art and genre painting by the local artist Thomas Cooper Moore is a valuable record of Nottingham Goose Fair. The annual Fair, the first of which is believed to predate the granting of a charter by Edward I in 1284, was for many centuries held in the town's magnificent Market Square. The rumbustious crowd, bent on enjoying themselves to the full, is observed by a bemused monkey that has wisely chosen an awning as its vantage point of the melee. William Wordsworth's recollection of the feelings evoked by the signs and sounds of that particularly English notion of the fair in Regency England, in his observation of Bartholomew Fair in 1815 (The Prelude, Book Seven) - with their multitudes gawking at such as the learned pig, Red Indians, waxworks and freaks - would have been little different at Goose Fair in 1870 By the late 18th century, such was Nottingham's reputation for rebellion that the government built a cavalry barracks in 1792 and permanently stationed soldiers in the town. Nottingham was the birthplace of Luddism and the large Market Square with the Exchange, other important buildings and the homes of rich tradesmen in close proximity, was the meeting place of choice for rowdy protest. It was from the 15th century Bell Inn (to the right of the scene), during Goose Fair in 1831, that a mob incensed by the defeat of the Reform Bill rioted, leaving Nottingham Castle a smouldering ruin. Restored for the late owner by the artist Dorothie Field (1915-1904) c1975-80 and in the same good, ready to hang 'gallery' condition. Lined with some localised retouching.
